Top Down Perspective

It's our last episode before we all head out to PAX Prime 2012 so we're running down what panels we're wanting to see and some of the things we want to do at the convention.

Nintendo Power is shutting down...

He then goes into a bit on Slender, Renegade Ops, SCP-087 and much more. Sean talks about finishing Ico HD, his new TV and New Super Mario Bros. 2. Jon goes into detail about Goof Troop, Kirby's Dreamland 3 and a few others. With Gamescon happening...

This week Nathan is playing a ton of Day Z and explains just what is so interesting about it. Jon continues to play nothing and Sean tries out the recently released Sound Shapes and Ico HD. As for news, a release date for LittleBigPlanet Karting comes out, Amazon starts a game company and Steam decides to start selling non-game software.

We're sort of all here this time as we try our best to fit a podcast between our not-so-cooperative schedules. We discuss the PAX Prime schedule and where we'll be talking/presenting and just some of the panels we want to check out. Jon hasn't played anything and Nathan continues to try out many PC ports of older games; including GTA San Andreas and Far Cry 2. Sean talks about his time with Syndic...

This week we're together for an early episode where Jon is talking about his Vita, Sean plays with the old Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing and Nathan is very into his PC and the games he bought on the Steam sale. As for news, Microsoft is already allowing people to beta test the next 360 dashboard update, The Walking Dead comes to iOS and Microsoft Vancouver has been shut down.

This week Nathan and Jon go over the games they played on a recent live stream, including Spelunky and other games I don't remember. Nathan has jumped head first into the PC version of Skyrim, Cave Story+ and reveals all the Steam sale games he's purchased. Sean is playing with his Vita for the first time after having purchased Lumines Electronic Symphony, he also plays PS3 exclusive Dyad and, pro...

This week we talk for a reeeeally long time about what we've been playing so we, unfortunately, have to skip over the emails section. Jon has been playing around with his new Vita while Nathan realises that there are more games in the world other than Skyrim. Sean tried out Microsoft's new Kinect PlayFit app, Tiny Wings version 2.0 and spent more time with Alice Madness Returns. As for the news, t...

This week Nathan is off being social, like a loser so Jon and Sean are left to pick up the slack.

Jon starts his time with 999. As for news, most of Radical Entertainment has been laid off, more information on The Cave comes up and we run through the official winners of E3.

Jon's computer crashes so we get a big issue with the audio (and the ending) this week. So please keep that in mind as this episode is basically being held together with duct tape. This week Sean gushes over Pokemon Conquest, and explains why you probably wont want to play Brave. Nathan is WAY deep into Skyrim and I'm really surprised he even stopped to record this episode and Jon plays a bit more...

Everything E3 is now over and we've settled back into things. Sean is trying out Max Payne 3 and finishing the last bit of Mario Kart 7, Nathan is playing more Jetpack Joyride as well as finally jumping into Skyrim and Jon is playing some downloadable 3DS game and Lollipop Chainsaw. As for the small bit of news: Draw Something is being turned into a game show and a brief WiiU price sighting takes...

The group (Nathan and Jon) are back from L.A. and the 2012 E3 event with a ton to talk about. We run through the various press conferences that were showed last week as well as discuss many of games that the guys played on the show floor.

It's the day before E3 (June 3rd) so we don't talk about anything that was in the conferences. Keep that in mind when wondering why we aren't going over that stuff. It's the weekend before everything starts and Nathan and Sean are here with what they played, the news already coming out from E3 and what they want to see announced, shown and whatever else at the convention.

This week Nathan continues with Animal Crossing as well as returning to another GCN classic: Metroid Prime. Jon continues with Mario Tennis Open and Sean finishes The Darkness 2, Iron Brigade and plays some Happy Action Theater.

One is Bee 52 (sp?). Nathan tried out a My Little Pony and Ace Attorney cross over game...

After a week of post-convention illness and work woes, we are back with another helping of video-game-related anecdotes and news. Kicking it off, the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo was last week, so Sean, Jon and Nathan summarize their highlights from Western Canada’s BIGGEST nerd-friendly expo (so…many…bronies). Then they go over the pros and cons of “Indie Game: The Movie” before it is rev...

It's a long one this week since we got a million questions sent into us - which is great! Jon's been playing some 3DS downloadable games while Sean tries out more shitty Kinect Fun Labs games, L.A. Noire DLC, Mass Effect 3's new multiplayer DLC and plays through all of Fez. Nathan returns from his road trip which means more WTF. As for news, Prey 2 is still alive, Nintendo held an event in Japan a...

This week Nathan is off at some music festival but Jon is back from PAX East. He goes over his time at the convention as well as Mario Tennis Open and Dust. Sean plays through Journey again and tries out a small bit of Fez. As for news, Resident Evil 6 is getting an insane collector's edition and Gamestop's in California have to advertise the loss of bonus content for used games.

This week Jon is away at PAX East so it is up to Nathan and Sean to hold down the fort. Sean finishes up Kid Icarus: Uprising and gives his final thoughts on the game while Nathan continues to attempt artistry with Draw Something. The season three finale of the Tester aired last week so we finish up our coverage of that...until next year hopefully. As for the news we discuss Harmonix's recently an...

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT MASS EFFECT 3 SPOILED! We rip this game apart and ruin almost every plot point we can think of, if you're playing or plan to ever play Mass Effect 3 and don't want the story spoiled for you then do not listen to this episode. As for the content. Sean, Nathan and Game Guiders' and Media Monks co-host Paul Fleck gather to discuss all things Mass Effect 3. We t...

We found Jon so we're all accounted for! Jon is finishing Return to Dreamland and playing (incorrectly) Kid Icarus: Uprising, while Sean is also playing it (correctly). Nathan played the new hotness: Draw Something. As for news, the CEO of OMGPOP went kind of crazy, Fez gets a release date and Obsidian pitches in to help with Wasteland 2.

This week Jon is mysteriously missing but that doesn't stop Sean and Nathan from discussing a little more Mass Effect 3 and the plans for a spoilercast. We also briefly mention Kid Icarus: Uprising, The Hunger Games iOS game and Mario RPG.
